December Theme Day - Circles/Spheres

The giant soccer-ball-like structure is one of two LAX radar domes on the East side of PV. Shown is its backside, from the locked gate at the end of Crest Road on the Miraleste side.In UK, the Defence Dept. does some fun stuff with these radomes - Radar Site Gets In Festive MoodSecond photo (taken from the front of our house) is the year's brightest pairing with Venus and Jupiter 2 degrees apart and a young moon close by. See Dream with the Fishes blog for more on this.

Excellent photos for theme day! A breathtaking shot of the 2 planets and moon. We have rain and clouds here...lots of mists and fogs so will not be able to see this wonderful sight. Thanks for taking this gorgeous photo!

I took a similar sky shot last night from atop the hills of Claremont (on another of my cross town flights of envy). I too had stars in my photo but I thought it was dust on the lens. Going to the link now...
